I've noticed that a lot of the new arena's being built, Pittsburgh/Arizona/Edmonton (asked for casino license originally) all want casino's involved. In fact Pitt didn't get a new rink until the casino was approved. Maybe the cities, owners/teams and league realize that getting the casino's involved is easy money because even if there are only 8-9000 fans showing up the casino's are happy to have the opportunity to drag some of those paying customers to the casino floor and take their money, then the city and state get the tax money from the casino to help fund the arena's.
My conspiracy for the day.
